Never saw "Fear." The little Dutch girl... holy, holy frijoles y'all! Many, many grown sopranos would do awful things to be able to sing so well!
I really enjoy the first singer as well. "Highway to Hell" and a great performance from the 68 year old woman! The ladies found at 3:01 are nonpareil! I don't know if this song was written for a duo or not, but they sing the (censored) out of it.
Thank you for posting all of these, Daniel. Great finds!
music is perhaps a bad place for politics?
No upon refection music just might be the cradle of politics.
Just a bit off the beaten path, perhaps not what's closest to your hearts.
But as my mother could still speak just a little Gaelic and I myself was involved in a physical art..
So here is a dance form a thousand years in the making, taking a shape hard left turn into the next thousand years.
What I think gives this dance form it's legs (OH! pardon me!) is that is existed for centuries not as a performance dance so much as a participants dance, EVERYBODY join in. Here they incorporate tap and elements of ballet
As I was leaving the Martial Arts I was trying to perfect my foot checking.
Basically every time my opponent tried to throw a kick my foot would just touch his as he raised it. I would connect inches off the ground where they had no momentum. Foot checking screws with their balance and timing.
While I watched these dancers I just keep thinking
"Try and foot check that hot shot!" LOL

when troubles come
in and push out
of your bushy mind
solutions that clip your
branching,
drawing you down into root.
and in darkness you can only sip
the waters of your life.
can only inhale on the exhale
and wait for the light.
.
in root,
there,
begins
in root we meet our ends.
from a twisting of the wines
root to a
flower
in answer to the loss
that darkened your mind
You see that flower open
even in your joy
see still
that light to root
Will never bind.
In root
awaits the darkest
learning to see
A Divine
climb
from
twisting
root
to become
a flower
that knows
everything
is made
to
shine.

I harbor doubts that anyone could by ear alone peg her for any sort of child, talented or not. whatever the training. She is in my experience simply unprecedented.
I just keep coming back to her, around 20 times now.":O}
Your mother spoke some Gaelic? That's amazing!
I was lucky and caught this remarkable dance ensemble way back in 1994, on tv of course. The stage in Eire ( pronounced "Ire," that's Ireland to us Amuricans) was just the right size. They played New York not too much later but the Radio City Music Hall's stage was too big--it swallowed up all the dancers. Please forgive me if you already know the following.
Irish Step Dancing was created because the English forbade the dancers from moving their hands. Why? Because then they'd send secret messages to those Irish Revolutionaries that the ruling English loved only too well.
They put wireless mics in all of the dancer's shoes. Made for one spectacular sound, I'd say.
Michael Flatley does move his hands in his solo performances, but no one else does. In case you didn't know, Jean Butler is an American. Doesn't she dance like a fawn, she is truly amazing. Gravity doesn't hold her down one bit.
This performance was and is breathtaking, it was something new to most of us.

i think I have over stated it. She knew around a dozen sayings from the Gaelic
"If God the gift to give us
Let us see ourselves
as others see us."
In Gaelic sounds very fine indeed.
Just watch her face, Her love for this music will see you though.
Gaelic is very mysterious. Most importantly, the Angles and the Saxons did their very best to murder Gaelic. It does sound amazingly furrin' to our ears.
Aw durn, there you go, dissing the Dutch. JK! It is a far from mellifluous language, why one simple word illustrates this clearly:
"Scheveningen." It's a city in the Netherlands.
"Schev" sounds like yer hawking up a loogie, the rest isn't so bad.
Me so bad. English isn't a real beauty of a tongue. Things can be said in English that are impossible in Spanish, but is that a saving grace?

Caught lying? Since when is that a bad thing? Why ask Massa Tarump, he'll be overjoyed to lie to you.
Now that's a tear starter! She's absolutely wonderful, thank you very much for finding and posting this Dan!
